R-beta: Pictex and R
Dear R-users It is me again with my interminables questions... This time it is about "pictex". I understood that pictex allows us to put our graph in a latex file I have try the function: > pictex (file=...) and the answer was: "pictex" not found... Does it mean that it is not an R-function yet? Thank you for any feedback. Halima from Leiden =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=...

rotated and/or greek mtext in pictex()?
Greetings- I'm aware that there's no documentation for pictex available easily (that is, without purchasing it). I'm wondering if someone can help me with a simple task. When generating a plot using pictex() from R, one of the commands I use is mtext("Dimension 2: L=xxxx", side=2, line=3) when using X11(), this appears vertically along the Y...

pictex graphics device and color
Is the pictex graphics device known not to support color? In R 2.0.1 Patched (2004-11-17), it produced very pretty output: ## pictex(file = "modern-metatheonomy.tex", bg = "transparent"); ## plotData(data); ## dev.off() ... but it appears to have ignored all color information. __________ S...

barplots with pictex
Dear R People, I want to include a barplot corresponding to a simple discrete probability distribution in a LaTeX document. I decided to use the pictex driver. After a certain amount of messing about, I came up the stuff below. It does not look too bad, however, there is one very obvious piece of weirdness, ie. the y axis terminates at 0.1 and does not extend down further. I tried to adjust this by changing ylim to c(-0.1,0.5) but then the labelli...

diagonal line through plot when using pictex()
Greetings- I've got some plots I'd like to include in a LaTeX document; specifically, I'd like to include them via pictex() so I can edit some of the particulars directly. However, an odd problem is coming up: a diagonal line is drawn from bottom-left to upper-right when using pictex(). This does not happen using X11() or postscript() with the same series of commands. Any ideas why this happens? If not, any referenc...

pictex
Hi, I am very new to R and trying to bring my plot of residuals to my LaTex document, and seems as I need some help. I first tried the example from the help file, e.g. pictex(file="model1.tex", width=5, height=4) plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2, type='b', main="Simple Example Plot") dev.off() this worked fine in LaTex when I did : \centerline{\input{Rplots.tex}} However, with my residuals plot, which looks like : pictex(file="model1.tex") pl...

R-beta: pictex() under Windows 95

pictex device driver

Bug in pictex output. (PR#845)
Hi everyone, I have just received a bug from one of my students. It concerns the pictex command to produce plots in latex format. It seems to add lines on the graph even in the most simplest cases. For example, try the following quadratic curve: plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2,type="b",main="Simple Example Plot") Now, saving the plot with the following command: pictex("plo...

pictex
The example at ?pictex does not work (the driver apparently uses 'rotatebox') for me as stated. It did compile after including the graphicsx package. A MWE is at the help page for pictex. I tried to get in touch with Valerio but his email bounced. Probably we want to add a \usepackage{graphicsx} to the help p...

PicTeX output: how to suppress escaping of $ signs and braces?
Dear All, I'm trying to draw a TeX histogram with the following pair of commands, pictex(file = "realhisto.tex") hist(Peaklist$V3,xlab="Height $z/\\ut{mm}$",ylab="Probability density $\\phi{}(z-z_0)/(1/\\ut{mm})$") However, in the resulting file realhisto.tex, I get, for example \put {Height \$z/\ut\{mm\}\$} [lB] <0.00pt,0.00pt> at 136.13 9.17 wh...

pictex driver and bargraph shading
I'm trying to use the pictex driver for bargraphs, and the shading isn't showing up. Is there any way to get some sort of shading in the plots? A hatch or stipple would be fine, too; just some way to differentiate the bars. The postscript driver won't do, since I'm trying to embed this in a LaTeX document which I&...

pictex device
dear R users, I got a problem in using the pictex device for graphics. It seems to me that R uses some special commands, because my LaTex (Miktex, latest version) didn?t know the used syntax (e.g. the comand "setcoordinatesystem"). Is there a special .sty-file for the usage of pictex files created by R? If so, where can I receive it? b...

PGF Device
Greetings all, PGF is a package for LaTeX which works with both ps and pdf output without any nasty hacks like pictex. Is there any technical reason why there could not be a PGF graphic device for R? If not, I'm going to try to throw one together. Any tips for getting started? Cheers, Caleb

GConvert error
Reply-To: I am doing a histogram of a relatively small dataset. It works great for X and postscript output, but when I try pictex I get an error - I have tried it with various options and all have the same results (ie I have tried without the width, height and debug). > pictex(file="slcity.pictex", width = 5, height = 4,debug=1) > hist(x,20,main = "",xlab="cost")...

Metapost device driver
...XFig driver and renamed everything and this works, I can open the new metapost() and it works exactly like the xfig driver. Now all I have to do is the actual work! Just one question. There is a magic number in ExtEntries as follows: static const R_ExternalMethodDef ExtEntries[] = { EXTDEF(PicTeX, 6), EXTDEF(PostScript, 16), EXTDEF(XFig, 11), EXTDEF(MetaPost, 12), /* Is 12 is OK */ EXTDEF(PDF, 13), I just picked 12, is this Ok, or does it have some special significance? Cheers, Geoff Russell.
